This Week in MusicFrom contributing writer AJ Michell

Hey y’all, welcome back. Kind of a bummer about the weather during the Candler Park fest, huh? Still, it seemed pretty fun! And shout out to all all my synth pals during the meetup on Sunday, always so cool to see a passionate niche community come together and talk about what they love. Speaking of, Criminal Records has a Comics Book Club! They get together on the third Thursday of every month to talk about a specific book and June’s is Christopher Priest’s Black Panther run! It’s so good and a great way to jump into the Black Panther books or comics in general! And, another quick passionate niche thing, Joystick does regular d&d stuff every Monday and Tuesday night at 7, so if you’ve never played or want to meet a new group, check it out! Finally, for anyone interested in weird theater, the Atlanta Fringe Fest is at 7 Stages, Thursday through Sunday! You have to at least catch one of the performances, they’re always so entertaining. Finally, this week we have BIG BOI on Friday and the rest is pretty straight forward so let’s get to it.

Wednesday, June 6

SUMMERTIME JAMS! Peach Kelli Pop are Canadian and they play fun rock n roll bops. To make the night even better, our dark wave pals Low Valley Hearts open! If you want to impress a date, bring them to this show, they’ll probably think you’re cool if you dance around. Then after the show, go to MJQ for their free Wednesday night dance party, where nobody has ever made a mistake

Thursday, June 7

Record Release show! I can’t tell if this is in the Tab proper or in the Cotton Club, which is strange because I thought Cotton Club closed ages ago. Either way, Neighbor Ladt perform and they’re great!

No Eyes plays, and I’m pretty sure I saw them at some tiny house show a few years ago, it was nuts. A dance party with some stellar visuals, come get your groove on. I still haven’t been here so this may finally be the night.

Saturday, June 9

An absolutely cosmic line up including some of my favorites, LONER, Visitors, and MonteQarlo! For one night only, The Bakery will be transformed into an alien planet, where an intergalactic music festival is being held. Witness the wonder of a distant world, where bioluminescent plants bloom from alien rainforests, crystal outgrowths gleam in magical caves and ancient secrets lie dormant in the glittering expanses of the desert!

Welcome back! See anything good last week? I couldn’t stop going on about the Street Sects show, it was so wild! The venue was completely full of fog and flashing lights we couldn’t see the stage. The singer was dancing around in the crowd and even had a chainsaw at one point. We were right […]
